The numbers are certainly dwindling... but there’s still a lot of diehard iPhone users out there. Mga 1 out of 10 persons siguro dito sa amin. Sh*t’s expensive as hell. 😂

Thank you for the interesting and useful inputs po! Really appreciate it! For now, scout po muna and pag may chance, mag test drive and research pa talaga since I don't have much budget/money to burn

For the pickup po, interesting suggestion pero kasi sanay na kami na may cargo space sa likod (hehe...although pwede naman palagyan ng cover).

For Jimny, mejo ayaw ni wifey kasi masyadong boxy..although I would have to agree na maganda ang tindig and ample space naman

Again thank you po ulit! Godbless!

Expander para pwede sila lolo and lola

my thoughts based only on the 2 options:

1) Long term reliability - Vitara. Although both models are fairly new, Suzuki has a more solid reputation and the Vitara is built in Hungary. MG/SAIC and distributed/serviced by TCCCI isn't that comforting yet but MG offers a 5 year warranty.

2) Space - MG ZS based on specs alone

3) Maintenance Costs and Interval - probably Vitara. also, more service centers.

4) Safety - Vitara. MG ZS only scored 3 stars in the euro NCAP vs Vitara's 5 stars

5) Vs other similarly-priced crossovers - Vitara is arguably the most bang for the buck but as suggested by others, you may also want to consider the "crossover" MPVs like BRV, xpander and ertiga. not much fuel economy and size penalty and you have 2 more seats, just in case. ground clearances are even higher than the models you're looking at and walang sinabi in terms of cargo space and flexibility.

HTH and good luck on your purchase!

Part po na pwedeng i-ready nyo and i-mindset..
Sa space, panalo po sya for family of 3.
Sa safety, eto tested ko sya.. Pero I think dahil matagal na kayong driver, baka hindi na din sa inyo important yung ibang i-note ko pero i share ko na din.. Ground clearance is ok pero meron pang iba na mas mataas pa.. Reverse Cam nya malaki tulong sa reverse parking. Front and Rear sensors are also good kasi hirap ako mag assess ng distance lalo na sa masisikip na parking.. Meron syang hill assist at brake assist.. Di ko pa na test pero nice to know na meron syang 6 airbags..
Other than that, hindi na logical yung reason bakit ko gusto yung napili ko.. Follow your heart.. Basta gusto mo mapapanindigan mo.. Hehehe
Kung sa Eastern part ka Sir, you can check Suzuki Taytay..

Hi and good day. I would like to ask about the cabin temperature of the Vitara GLX with sunroof during summer days. Is the A/C enough to keep the cabin cool during hot summer days especially in the noontime traffic?

Hi Sir absolut_zero, July ko lang po sya na start i-drive around the City pa lang kahit 2PM ako umuuwi at minsan open area ang parking sa office hindi ganun kainit.. Kaya naman ng aircon palamigin agad.. Kaso, I'm not the righr person para makapag bigay feedback sa temperature..

Lagi lang po sakin naka set na 25C yung aircon and naka low pa yung fan nya.. Hindi po kasi ako pawisin, hindi rin madaling mainitan and preferred ko yung tamang lamig lang..
In short, kung sa preference ko lang wala naman ako reklamo sa temperature. Lagi lang din ako mag-isa kaya wala pa ako feedback from any passenger.. Btw, super dark tint ko na 3M sa sunroof satisfied naman ako.. Nagbasa din ako ng mga reviews about sa sunroof before my purchase, honestly hindi sakin issue yung mga binabanggit nila..
OT: bothered ako hindi sa temerature.. dun sa looks and feel ng plastic material na ginamit sa dashboard and doors.. pagpasok ko palang nung namimili palang ako na turn off talaga ako dun.. Hahahahaha

hanggang ngayon bothered ako kapag napapansin ko siya.. gusto ko kasi mga interior ng Honda and Mazda.. Pero wala eh, di talaga makukuha lahat ng gusto and sa budget ko di kaya mag-H & M. Hehe

.. Main objective ko naman is safety lalo na new driver lang din ako.. Rear Cam, front and rear sensors plus 10inch android para sa waze ko laking tulong.

Hi misseksaherada! Thank you very much po for the inputs. Looks like a dark or maybe a silver tint will do the job to reduce the heat coming in from the sunroof. Hindi rin ako pawisin. Usually, nasa lowest fan speed and 24C yung aircon pag nagda-drive ako. Inaalala ko lang kung full seats ang sakay.
Yung sa interior finish, panay video review pa lang nakikita ko. Hindi pa ako nakakapunta sa mga showroom or nakapag test drive. Pag nagkaroon siguro ng time.
Maraming salamat po uli.

Choices ko dati:

1. Br-V - kaya lang I don't need a 7 seater
2. Altis - sasayad sa parking ko. Eto sana napupusuan ko noon.
3. Navarra - ok sana kaya lang wala ako malalagay sa likod kasi bukas.
4. City - chnaged my mind kasi CVT. And may accent na kami. halos pareho lang
5. Eco sport - Ok naman kaya lang di ako ganon kainterested. and sabi sakin ng office mate ko bigala nalanag nag shutdown ecosport nya na brandnew. Jerky din daw.
6. Vitara - eto kinuha ko kasi swak sa budget at features. Ok din nung test drive ko. And sa tibay at maintenance cost, subok kok na suzuki kasi unang car ko suzuki din.

Yeah.. Yun din iniisip ko kapag meron na din ako sakay tapos long drive.. This August try ko na magsakay ng pasahero..

Yes Sir try nyo makita ng personal, tapos kung maalala mo balikan mo message dito kung same ba tayo ng comment sa unang kita nung interior..
Good luck and enjoy sa pagcheck!
